Standards Landscape using ONC’s Interoperability Framework

(Fridsma, 2010)
Three Key Points on the Interoperability Framework

Harmonization
- o This is a process that enables the incorporation of standards (HL7, SNOMED,…) that are defined in parallel or even after use cases are defined.
  - o This working code deliverable is the cornerstone of the interoperability framework and the gateway for implementation specification becoming a standard
  - Tools and Services
    - o Technical enablers of the Interoperability Framework

Reference Implementation:

Implementation Specifications: Other HITPS Implementation Specifications based on the CCD are: C32, C35, C28, C48, C76, C37, C84
Harmonization: The hierarchy of standards are RIM->CDA->CCD->C83->Implementation Guides
